Evidence:
'Once, talking about Zeromski I asked Konrad [sic] if he had read "Roza". He had not. So I ran to my room and brought down a copy. I laid it on the table so he could read it when he pleased. [...] Konrad moved towards the light, and having opened the book on the table leaned over it on his elbows. He did not ask me any questions and without a word remained a long time in that position.'
